I'm comparing the park hours from last Dec. to the hours coming out for this Dec. & they're much shorter this year (Ex. AK opened from 9-8, now 9-5). As we get closer to Dec., will the hours increase, or once the calendar is out, is that it? 180 days s”

Hi Kristin,

Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.

Yes, theme park hours may be adjusted as you get closer to your vacation dates. You can start planning with what you see now, but especially for as far out as December, the hours might change. Continue to check the Disney World schedule of theme park hours as your vacation gets closer to see any changes. Of course they might not change, but it is a possibility.

I hope that this information helps, Kristin! Have a great time planning, and please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
